Komikon Summer de Avance 2010!

Election year, but still another year for a new advance in the Pinoy komiks industry. Komikon Summer de Avance 2010 held in the UP Bahay ng Alumni last Apil 17 gave another treat for all comic lovers, enthusiasts and all in between to meet and greet comic creators, producers, independent comic strip makers, and other comic celebrities. Amidst the high temperature outside the venue, it does not spoil the fun of all who attended to enjoy the event.

Featured artist is a recipient of an Eisner award/nominee , Rod Espinosa. And there were a lot of new books up for sale. Spotted there were the SKP (Samahan Kartunista ng Pilipinas) artist, comic compilations by Vibal and Anvil publishing. Also there were a lot of indie komiks that are increasing in numbers through the years (I hope to one of them by this year too). There were a lot of Games and prizes to those who attended.

Now who says the komiks industry is dying?

I believe that It is striving to stay, but not dead,  and there are still a lot of opportunities given they are given equally. Pinoys will and always love komiks. Its has been a staple in the past. And today, komiks does evolve with the changes in society and technology. Probably if the generation today will get to know more about this, there could be a chance to bring the new age of komiks in the lives of Pinoys.

Komikon Summer de avance is just the first major event of Komikon this year. And like last year, there will be another komikon that will be held in November 2010. But also don't fogrt there will be also other events like the metro comicon and toycon this year. So election aside, these are he reasons why we should be most excited about. And hopefully for the new administration, it will support this industry that we have loved.

Isang Buwan na lang KOMIKON na!!!

Time flies so fast that I noticed that next month, I would see myself in Komikon 2010 summer de avance! For this Komikon, its again back to UP Bahay ng Alumni. I came across this poster from komik friends. I'm getting excited, and I hope so are you and also go to that event. The Komiks Industry is still not dead, it may be struggling but its becoming more competitive in the whole world of Comics and I believe it has also been a part of your life too. Support Pinoy Comics!

KOMIKON NA! 2010!

bago ang matinding labanan sa balota... komiks muna ang inyong mabasa!
ikalat ang balita sa bawat komikero't komikera!


Magkaisa! Mag-KOMIKS na!
